i think you just might need a smaller torx.. that or use a dremmel and grind the head of the screw off.

You might be able to open it with a jeweler's slot if it just fits between two opposite corners.

If it doesn't have to look pretty, use a dremel wheel to cut a slit in the head of the scre and use a regular slot on it.
